and get the data. But wait, I only get data for the "Violent Crime" category. I download the workbook and it turns out there is a data filter called "Crime Category" and by default, it is set to "Violent Crime" only - see screenshot.

Is there a way to tweak the filter from the URL? How can I import CSV data for "Property Crime" category? Just to clarify: I am talking about exporting data from workbooks uploaded to Tableau Server by other people - so, tweaking the workbook in Tableau Desktop and re-uploading it doesn't work here.

In general, I need a reliable way to get CSV data from any viz on any server (T public or T Server). I got stuck at getting "Property Crime" data from this particular viz on Tableau Public, so I thought it would be a good example to use in my request for help. I was assuming the behaviour was the same for T Public and T Server.

My expectation was: ok, I can download the workbook and find out the parameters/filters the author supplied, I specify those params/filters in the URL, I append CSV to the path and get the data I want. I was just trying to follow the guidelines from

Sorry to Jump in between. I have also done some R&D on the same topic and found that Tableau alphabetically picks up the first worksheet in the entire dashboard and take a dump of that when your add csv in the URL.

I have added a Worksheet, there I don't have any filter and I have picked up couple of fields and added that worksheet as floating.

That's how you output a csv Manideep. I think the core ask is "how do we pass filters" -- on to the CSV.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but hasn't this always been available? I've not had an opportunity to use 9.3 very much this year, and I'm curious what people are doing to remediate this.

I've spent the past few hours spinning my wheels, trying to output .csv, with DATASOURCE FILTERS, that don't appear to apply. I've tried it with your method Manideep, I've tried it alone as a non-hidden viz on TableauOnline, and I've tried it on a dashboard alone.

Is this intended? Adding .csv, behind a URL, hits behind the datasource filters?

Hello - I have noticed that sometime filter doesn't apply it behave in a strange manner. We have added some preset filters in that worksheet and placed behind an Excel Icon. Clicking on the Excel Icon image, the CSV URL is invoked. Basically user gets a basic data dump. I know this is not a very sophisticated solution, but that's the only workaround I know for download data from Dashboard from Interactive Web.

I need access to all data behind the viz - either by passing a filter/parameter (and making several URL requests) or just by grabbing all data at once. Manideep suggested an approach that does the latter, but it requires changing and re-uploading the viz, and this is not an option.
